Meanwhile, although it was apparent that the ball had already left River's hand, the somewhat out-of-formation ex-con Drummer from Deluded Innocents, picked up River , threw him to the ground. Above the field, on Presidents Lawn, River's Mother and Father were preparing a table for Greek hors d'oeuvres, and they did not notice. The umpires, however, noticed. "Roughing the Passer. 15 yard penalty."
First and 10. Huygens was on the verge of the Red Zone. The Deluded Innocents drummer/Safety said something strongly critical to the umpires. "One drummer less," Griff said to Durango. B2 was limping. Theatrically. Griff considered sending in backup RB, Jerry's brother, Marvin. "Are you ok?" he shouted to B2. B2 grinned.
Pac Ocean Defense was covering man-to-man, except for B2, who, they thought could no longer run very fast. Big Dog snapped the ball to River. Lateral hand off to B2. Untouched by the Pac Ocean Defense, B2 ran surprisingly fast, plunged into the End Zone. Touchdown Huygens.
Will kicked the ball precisely through the mid section of the goal posts. Gay musicians on the Pac Ocean side stood up and cheered. Coach Sebo glared.
